I am leaning toward Makenna because my other daughters middle name begins with an M. But I think Gabrielle is such a pretty name and my husband likes it better. Help us decide. Thanks

My daughter is 2mths old, and for the past 3 weeks she's started to mix up her days and nights with sleep.
Before, she was sleeping from 9pm to 4am and then 4:30am to 8am like clockwork...now she doesnt go down for the night until around 3-4am and wants to sleep all day.
How do you help babies get their sleep pattern back?
I've tried keeping her up all day...baths, undressing her, tickling her, squirting her (with the mist setting) with a water bottle, and nothing wakes her. She wakes long enough to eat and thats it.
I'm beyond exhausted and have a 4yr old to take care of also and need sleep so I can function.
Any ideas or solutions??? I'll try just about anything!

My son is 2 months old and hasn't pooped in over 24 hours. Is there a natural remedy (like prunes) that I can give him to help him out? He was on concentrate and we switched to powder which is the culprit we suspect. Needless to say we went back to the concentrate.

Ok when I was in the hospital they had my baby on Enfamil Lipil and then I went to W.I.C. and they changed her formula to Goodstart Supreme cause it's a cheaper brand for them. So I now have her started on that. Today my friend dropped off a box full of Enfamil Lipil formula and I was wondering if I could switch back to that formula and when she run's out switch her back to the Goodstart without a problem???

I was reading through papers they gave me at the hospital on SIDS and it said not to use padded bumpers in a crib. Are there any other type of bumper besides a padded one? And if they are dangerous then why does every crib bedding set come with one? My 3 month old just started sleeping in his crib (he was in the bassinet), should I remove the bumper?

My first son's initals are J.T. I want to give this baby good initals that people commonly go by. Other than T.J. what else goes well with T? (I would like to avoid having a T.J. and a J.T. to avoid them being confused)

BREVARD — Social workers had been warning that 3-month-old Aundrea Tashae Hunter might be in trouble before the infant died with symptoms of shaken baby syndrome, a grandmother of the baby said Tuesday.Police have charged Stacey Hunter’s boyfriend, 18-year-old D’Andre Anthony Curry, with second-degree murder in the baby’s death Sunday at Mission Hospitals.Doctors found the infant had a fractured skull and had traces of marijuana and an antidepressant in her blood. Transylvania County Department of Social Services director Carson Griffin would not comment.They have five days to produce the case summary, provided a district attorney decides details would not jeopardize a defendant’s right to a fair trial or undermine a criminal investigation.Police first learned of the infant’s injuries when Stacey Hunter called 911 from her apartment south of Brevard at 7:26 p.m. on Thursday.”Hurry.My baby’s not breathing. I think she is gone. I think it’s too late,” she screamed to a dispatcher. Doctors, according to a search warrant filed by a N.C. State Bureau of Investigation agent, found bleeding of the retina.

My son is 5 months old and he has had a "cold" since the day before Thanksgiving. It hasnt gone away! I suction out his nose and put saline drops in as often as I can. His symptoms are that he has a runny nose or sometimes it sounds clogged back in his nasal cavity. Every once in awhile he coughs, its sounds like he does it becuase of his nasal drip. He rubs his eyes and nose all the time. Around his eyes is pink sometimes. I have taken him to the pediatrician like 3 times over this. The first two times they just said to do the saline and suction. The third time they said he had a little congestion in his lungs but to just keep suctioning! Im worried this is either going to turn into something worse or never go away! I feel so bad for him! He has trouble eating, sleeping and holding his pacifier sometimes. What should I do?

I have an aspirator to clean my baby's nose, but that's only good for the wet stuff. The aspirator does not get rid of that dry stuff. How do you 'pick your baby's nose'?
